Yes, the following command will convert a simple EBCDIC file, which already has a Carriage-Return / Line-Feed at the end of each line/record, into an ASCII file. -c”Translate_Block(0,File_Size,REVERSE) XALL” file.ebc -a file.asc In this command, ‘file.ebc’ is the original EBCDIC file and ‘file.asc’ is the name of the resulting ASCII file.
